About This Item
Evanston, Illinois: Northwestern University Press, 1950. Reprint. Hardcover. g. Quarto. XXI, [5], 288, [2]pp. Original blue cloth with gold lettering on spine. Frontispiece portrait of Galileo Galilei. Decorative head-, tailpieces and initials. This work, written during the last years of Galileo's life, incorporates the work that he had done much earlier and is a summary of his work on mechanics. The first part of this book deals with statics and what we might now call "strength of materials," and the latter part deals with dynamics. This work is profusely illustrated with 126 in-text figures. Moderate soiling on binding. Gold lettering faded on spine. Lower corners bumped, thus slightly affecting pages throughout. Front hinge slightly starting. Binding in overall fair, interior in good+ to very good condition.
